Hektor believes in the gods.

Explanation:

The Greek myth of "Hektor and Achilleus" revolves around the Battle of Troy where Hektor, the prince of Troy and Achilles, a Greek warrior had been fighting each other. The main background of the whole story line is based off "The Illiad" by Homer.

In the Battle of Troy, Paris had taken Helen, the wife of Menelaus, a Greek King of the Spartan kingdom. Though she went voluntarily to be with Paris, it led to the now famous "Battle of Troy". The quote in the question is said by Hektor, and reveals his belief in the gods. He holds a sense of honor for the dead, and promises Achilles he won't defile his body should he die. But Achilles did not have the same sense of respect, which sets him apart from Hektor. Hektor, on the other hand, have a more responsible and respect for the gods and their ways. Preserving and upholding the code of honor, he shows his chivalry and rightful behavior, unlike Achilles who is consumed by anger and just wants revenge.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
